A customer brought in a Bullet 50mm high-rim wheelset for service.
Since it says "Ultra," it has CULT bearings.
They apparently bought it right when it came out and have been using it for about two years,
but the wheel runout is minor—just what you'd expect from that kind of regular use—
and there weren't any real issues.
Both wheels had perfect centering,
so I asked, "You know what, I don't need you to tell me—you bought this from a shop, right?"
Turns out it was mail order though...
They really hit the jackpot with the centering.
There was some play in the front hub,
but overall it's not too problematic.
Actually, the tire removal and reinstallation needed just to check the centering
might be taking up more time than the actual work.
